When Will I Be Free

 

When will I be free? 
The law says I am, but statistics show different. I just want to show people that I am gifted.
But my skin is a mark that I am not welcomed here. If I walked down the street they will have "fear".
I want opportunities just like my friends. But justice will never come to an end.
When can I be free from the judgment of my color? All just because I don't look like the others.
When can I be free from my ancestors' chains?
I want to walk proudly with my head held up high. Trying to let the negativity pass me by.
I will live the rest of my life based on my skin. In the end, they will see me win. 
I am more than my looks. I am taking back what they took. 
We're not done they should know. We'll be fighting for equality till the end of the show

Many of their losses have come from goals against them in the second period. There are many successful returning top scorers such as Roope Hintz, Tyler Seguin, Jason Robertson, and Joe Pavelski. A stacked defense that includes Miro Heiskanen, John Klingberg, and Esa Lindell. New promising players such as Michael  Raffl , Luke Glendenning, and Thomas Harley are starting to heat up,...
